Synopsis: Joe 'Tom' Yateley is an ex-convict. Trying to leave his past behind, he decides to start working for the Hawlett Trucking company, which transports gravel. It's an aggressive company, where speed is everything. Doing too few runs in a day? You're out. Red is the most experienced trucker; he can do 18 runs in a day. Tom soon makes friends with Lucy, the secretary, and Gino, a driver. But the record of Red intrigues him and he wants to break it. Gino advises against it, but he helps Tom when he wants to go through with it. Soon trouble begins when Red and the other drivers form a united front against Tom. Just when Tom has enough and decides to pack his bags, Lucy tells him Gino had a terrible accident. She also tells about the corruption of Hawlett Trucking.

Who's doing that banging and kicking?

Stop that, do you hear me?

Come on, you two get upstairs to your rooms.

Ah, thank you, Gino.

- Yeah, do that. Quick.

And stop that noise up there.

This place is a loony bin.

Sure. Where else do you put crazy people?

Ah, mamma mia. You give me a fright.

A pity.

You say nothing.

You have a good laugh, huh?

No.

You know, there is so much noise.

You're in a very good situation.

But my real name is Emanuelo.

Leggy, Legoubin, he was my special friend.

You have friends here?

No.

No, thanks.

- You have met Red?

- No, I haven't met anyone.

He's the boss, what we call the pace-setter.

He drives like the devil, marvellous.

He's got truck number one. When you see him

coming, keep to the side. That is all I tell you.

Yeah, I passed him on the trial run.

He was going like he'd been fired

from a rocket or something.

That is the one.

That is the one.

I'm glad that you have seen him.

Our Red.

He's a special friend of your's, too?

I hate the sight of him. Come over to eat.

- The pull-in over the road?

- Yeah, that's right.

- The girl in the office told me.

- Ah, that is Lucy.

Funny girl, Lucy. The boys like to make out

she's, what do you call it...

...a hot number.
